A deity or demon mentioned in ancient Jewish and Christian texts, associated with the Assyrian god Adar.
From Hebrew/Aramaic sources, possibly from Assyrian 'Adar-malik' meaning 'King Adar' or 'mighty king.' The name appears in biblical texts as a foreign god worshipped by certain peoples.
Adramelech shows up in the Bible as a god that people in Sepharvaim worshipped, and scholars debate whether it was actually a sun god, a demon, or something completely different—a perfect example of how ancient religious texts preserve names we can only partly understand.
